Well if people belive God wrote the Bible, then of course they belive the bible is perfect.However,if your like me and you belive the bible was written by mortal men,then you probably belive the thing has quiet a few mistakes in it.Instead of listing a bunch of incositancies, for now I would rather get a bit philosophical on the subject.It seems to me to be very funny that as long as men has had the ability to write,god or gods have been writing laws.It seems to me if their was a god with laws then we should be hard wired to know these laws instead of putting 'faith' into it.I belive faith is a word that has been used rather unjustly.Anymore it seems to have this meaning:Beliving in something you know that isn't true.What i'm trying to get at is this.Instead of god writing a book thats now old and looked over with controversy,it would be a lot easier if he just came down and told everyone.Instead we are told he works in mysterious ways and to have faith.To me that seems to be more of an excuse than an answer.While I fully belive their are forces at work I can't comprehend,their has to be a bit more logic behind such answers for me.If god works in mysterious ways and we are to have 'faith' then i am led to the conclusion god is a pantheistic deity who dwells within the universe,rather than outside our realm of exsistance.
Well I think i'm done for now.

That is very logical. God loves the world so He gave...Love gives./COLOR]

You failed to address anything I said.I will go with what you are saying for the sake of arguement though.What's logical about god asking Abraham to sacrafice Issac??What kind of god is that unstable on a moral scale?

First, God is sovereign so He can do as He wishes.
Second God "tests" or rather "proves" the faith of those who are claim allegiance to Him.
Question: did God allow Abraham to go through with it? The answer is no so what is the problem?
